The documentation should read
The ZIP file format supports Unicode filenames. If you have unicode filenames, zipfile will encode them to and from utf-8 internally, but if you pass bytes filenames to write() then they will be stored without a specified encoding.
Even though the format itself supports Unicode, historically Windows' built-in ZIP utility has interpreted all ZIP filenames as CP437 also known as DOS Latin. There is a fix from Microsoft for Windows 7 available here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2704299 |
